TOPIC: True Dungeon Timeline

Or, does that affect retrodungeons?

I remember the room with bars and making the crossbow to get the keys (or do something else) at the beginning of, I think, 2006. I remember at least one of the puzzle rooms. I remember the shambler and medusa from 2007 - the reason why I was the only person in my run to avert eyes in the recent retrodungeon. I don't remember what 2008 was like, at all.

I stopped adding room details to the Timeline once they started doing the Dungeon Modules in 2006. I figured the Dungeon modules captured the details of each room in far better detail than I could in the timeline - without just copying/pasting the module info into the timelines. I'm totally open to adding other info to the timeline though, including for the more recent years I haven't captured yet. It might be nice to note for instance the first time True Dungeon expanded to each of the conventions.

It might be nice to capture the room details for any virtual Dungeons that aren't going to get modules, if anyone took good notes (or has access to the info and the OK to share it).

Sorry, but we cannot change XP from that far back.

I figured as much, no big deal.

I had googled ‘true dungeon history” or something similar and it came up. I don’t think the search function here gets results over a year old.

The default on the search here is only results in the past year. But that is just the default, you can get search results from long long ago. Under "Search Options" change the "Find results from" dropdown.

I did not know that was there! Thanks.

Loved reading about the different years.

Thanks! I do hope to fill in the recent years, I'll probably need to make it a community effort to get all the info.

This post has been moved to the General Info Section ...'cuz it is so cool.

Thanks all!

I have updated some of the info, if anyone has significant info to add in the more recent years, let me know.

Thanks for updating Mike, great to have a historical log of the game.

I'm glad I created it back when I did - I suspect a lot of the source documents and posts I used for info are lost to time now.

I wonder if anyone has a photo of Room 9 from 2004, that would be really neat to post in the Timeline. If anyone has any photos of the old Dungeons, I'd be happy to include them.

Room Nine – The Idol Room
If you missed seeing this room…it was a real shame as it was a loving tribute to the first edition cover of the Player’s Handbook. We exactly replicated the cover of the 1st Ed. PHB – minus the dead Lizardmen and party. When you walked into the room, it was like walking into the front cover of the PHB.

Would these work? Thanks Mike for keeping the old days alive! ; )

Jeff, that's perfect! I've already added them to the Room 9 description on post #2. If you have any other great photos over the years, or neat info, I'd love to incorporate it. I think of this thread as the history of True Dungeon.

Yeah, I remember running across this a long time ago and thinking it was super cool. Thanks for doing this Mike.
